PRICE-TAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,719, dated August 15, 1882,

Application filed March 6, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J. ARTHUR ADAMsoN,a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Price-Tags, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in that class of price-tags in which the pin for securing the tag is confined to the card, the object of my invention being to so construct the tag as to facilitate the manufacture of the same by machinery.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved price-tag; Fig. 2, a transverse section, and Fig. 8 a longitudinal section.

lhe tag comprises three parts, the face-card a, the strip at, and the staple-like pin 1), which has the usual bent head, 6, the latter being confined between the back of the face-card a and the strip d, which is secured thereto and is of a width no greater than the distance between the prongs of the staple-like pin.

(N0 model.)

By thus contracting the width of the strip (1 I am enabled to make the tags rapidly by machinery, acontinuous strip, (1, being first pasted and then pressed upon a continuous strip, a, by means of a roller so contracted in width as to pass freely between the prongs of the pins, which have been deposited upon the said strip a, the pasted strips being afterward severed at points midway between the pins.

I claim as my invention A price-tag consisting of the face-card a, the staple-like pinsb,and the supplemental strip cl. the latter being secured to the back of the card a and fitting between the prongs ot' the pins 1), so as to hold the same in place, as set forth.

In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in presence of two snbscribo ing witnesses.

Y J. ARTHUR ADAMSON.
